What is SRV file?

The file in the SRV format belongs to the Settings Files category. In addition to this file, the Settings Files category includes 1305 related files. FBB Initialization is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

How to open SRV file?

The main problem with FBB Initialization is that the SRV file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SRV to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SRV file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install FBB Packet-radio BBS

The first step is to check if the computer has the FBB Packet-radio BBS program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name FBB Packet-radio BBS in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SRV with FBB Packet-radio BBS. Below you will find a list of applications that support SRV files.

Programs to open SRV file

Remember to download programs supporting SRV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of FBB Packet-radio BBS with SRV files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SRV file to open in the FBB Packet-radio BBS application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SRV file with the FBB Packet-radio BBS program.

Step 3. Update FBB Packet-radio BBS to the latest version

If, despite the association of the FBB Packet-radio BBS program with the FBB Initialization file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SRV file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The SRV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SRV file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SRV file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SRV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SRV files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SRV file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SRV except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SRV to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SRV to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SRV file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
